This is a very special place and one of the largest statues in Great Britain.
The Angel of the North is a welcoming gardian Angel of all visitors to the North East of England and a Holly Shrine

Yeah, borders are a no no. I actually liked this border, for what it's worth, as it complements the picture's composition, but you could call it gilding the lily.
Like the picture, like the colour(s), like the Angel of the North.
For me as observer, the white line symbolizes the boundary of the physical world. Thought of that way, everything in the image is a projection out of the same thing, which transcends the limits of the physical.
IMHO, the inner border is an integral part of the image.
Amazing, what is this???? IMHO would be better without the man on the bicycle. There's also some kind od radial red/green noise in the background. Otherwise I think it's perfect. I like the crop.
I would love to see this statue in person, I've seen many photos of it. I like the composition and your fame is nice too. Only thing I don't like is the person on the bike. The 2 people in front seem to be worshipping it (although they are probably just taking pictures of it). Well done.
Not strictly holy, just Britain's largest sculpture. The composition here is good and I particularly like the silhouetted figures looking at the sculpture - 'specially the man on the bike! But the frame does it no justice at all - in fact it detracts strongly from my enjoyment of this shot.
Let me know how many comments you get about an internal border. I got hammered the one and only time I tried one. I do like the gradient of the sky and muted brown hue. 7
The border takes away from this amazing shot. Also, the position of the visitors hands tells that they're also taking a photo which ruins the mood of the photo.
The image is great although the border (in my opinion) does nothing to add to the picture and would probably be better left out. The simplicity of colour and shape really make the picture easy to look at and the people give the statue a lovely sense of scale.
